MS-700 Configure and Manage a Teams Environment Practice Question
A Teams administrator needs to ensure that a newly hired support agent can create teams, but the agent must not be able to change organizational-wide settings in the Teams admin center. The agent already has a Microsoft 365 E3 license. What should the administrator do?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming that creating teams requires a Teams administrative role, when in fact it is controlled by Microsoft 365 group creation permissions.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Enable the agent to create Microsoft 365 groups by using the Microsoft 365 groups creation setting and assign no Teams admin role.
Team creation depends on the right to create Microsoft 365 groups, which can be granted independently of any Teams administrative role. Leaving the user without a Teams admin role ensures they cannot alter tenant-wide settings. The Teams Administrator, Teams Communications Administrator, and Global Administrator roles all grant broader or unrelated permissions that exceed the requirement.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Enable the agent to create Microsoft 365 groups by using the Microsoft 365 groups creation setting and assign no Teams admin role.
Why this is correct
Team creation is governed by the ability to create Microsoft 365 groups, which can be controlled at the tenant level. By allowing this user to create groups and not assigning a Teams admin role, the agent can create teams while remaining unable to modify organizational-wide Teams settings. This satisfies least privilege and directly addresses the requirement.
- ✗
Assign the Teams Communications Administrator role to the agent.
Why it's wrong here
Teams Communications Administrator is scoped to managing calling, phone numbers, and voice features, not team creation. It would not grant the ability to create teams and would instead provide voice-related administrative permissions that are irrelevant here. This role does not match the stated need and could expose telephony configuration to an unintended user.
- ✗
Assign the Teams Administrator role to the agent in the Microsoft 365 admin center.
Why it's wrong here
The Teams Administrator role grants broad permissions to manage the Teams service, including organizational-wide settings, meeting policies, and voice configuration. Assigning it would give the agent far more access than required and violates the least-privilege principle. The requirement is specifically that the agent can create teams but must not change tenant-wide settings, so this role is too permissive.
- ✗
Assign the Global Administrator role to the agent temporarily and remove it after team creation.
Why it's wrong here
Global Administrator is the highest privileged role and grants full control over all Microsoft 365 services, including Teams settings, which is the opposite of the required restriction. Even temporary assignment introduces significant risk and violates least privilege. Team creation does not require this role; it can be enabled through group creation permissions without elevating the agent.
